If you have ancestors in Norway, their old records might be in Norwegian, Danish or Swedish. Their parish name might refer to a village, a fork in the road or the largest town in the area.

Here, Diana gives you a sneak peek at the webinar by sharing some of her favorite online resources for Norwegian genealogy:

The National Archival Services of Norway, which has record indexes and transcriptions, along with some digital images. You’ll also find interesting articles such as Norwegian Emigration to America 1825-1939.

Ancestry & History (Slekt & Historie), a site all about the authors’ personal research, along with historical information and links to more than 100 additional resources.

In the Norwegian Genealogy Crash Course webinar, Diana will show you how to use these and other resources, and give you details about the most important Norwegian genealogy records, how to find those records, and tips for reading the records.

As always, anyone who registers for the webinar receives a PDF handout of the webinar slides, as well as access to view the webinar again as often as desired.

And don’t forget:
– the Norwegian American Historical Associationhttp://stolaf.org/naha/
– the Norwegian American Genealogical Society &amp; Naeseth Libraryhttp://www.nagcnl.org/
Both have online indexes; the former to its publications (free) and the latter to unique data gathered by the late Gerhard Naeseth and staff members (for a fee) and the new pages of extensive compiled sources on the mostly-Norwegian 15th Wisconsin Infantry in the Civil War.
